CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)

This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No(s). 10-2016-0069571, filed on Jun. 3, 2016, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

Exemplary embodiments of the present invention relate to an electronic parking brake system for a vehicle, and more particularly, to an electronic parking brake system for a vehicle and a method of driving the system, which are capable of stopping the vehicle when the operation of a vehicle service brake is impossible during the travel of the vehicle.

Description of the Related Art

An electronic parking brake system that improves a wire type parking brake system has been employed. The electronic parking brake system determines the speed of a vehicle, the rotation of an engine, and the operation of a brake by an electronic control unit (ECU) when the vehicle stops, thus causing the brake to be driven. Thus, even if a driver does not apply the brake while the vehicle stops, there is no possibility that the brake is released. Meanwhile, when the vehicle starts to run, the brake is automatically released from a locked state merely by pressing on an accelerator pedal. Thereby, even when the vehicle starts on a slope, the vehicle is not pushed backwards. Further, even when there is a severe traffic jam, the vehicle moves forwards only when a driver increases the speed. Consequently, it is unnecessary for the driver to frequently press on the accelerator pedal. During the travel of the vehicle, the ECU detects the vehicle speed and recognizes that the vehicle is moving, so that the electronic parking brake system does not work while the vehicle is running. However, the electronic parking brake should have the function of stopping the vehicle that is running, in the event that the operation of the service brake is impossible. Such a conventional electronic parking brake system is problematic in that a control value is tuned by repetitive experiments, so that a lot of time and money is required to tune the control value.

The braking command outputted from the controller may include one of brake application, brake release or brake stop.

In the case of the brake application, a variation of the clamping force in a positive direction may increase as the command transmission time may increase, and in the case of the brake release, a variation of the clamping force in a negative direction may increase as the command transmission time may increase.

The controller may apply the brake application when the vehicle may be decelerated to the target deceleration, may apply the brake release when the vehicle deceleration may be reduced, and may apply the brake stop when the vehicle deceleration may be identical to the target deceleration.

The method may further include outputting the braking command to the electronic parking brake until the vehicle deceleration may become identical to the target deceleration by controlling the command transmission time.

In the determining the type of the braking command, if the target deceleration is less than the vehicle deceleration, this may be determined as a brake release command, and if the target deceleration is more than the vehicle deceleration, this may be determined as a brake application command.

In the determining the command transmission time of the braking command, the target deceleration may be determined by multiplying the difference value of the vehicle deceleration and the experimentally obtained control value.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain a command transmission time through a control value representing the characteristics of the vehicle, and a difference value between a target deceleration and a vehicle deceleration. The vehicle deceleration and the target deceleration are continuously checked via the command transmission time, so that the vehicle deceleration and the target deceleration are measured at a time when a control operation is started without the necessity of adjusting a clamping force, thus controlling the electronic parking brake such that the target deceleration is identical to the vehicle deceleration.

FIG. 1 is a view illustrating the generation of a braking force by an electronic parking brake.

Referring to FIG. 1, if an electronic parking brake (EPB) system is driven while a vehicle is running, a brake pad 10 comes into contact with a brake disk 20, thus causing friction and thereby generating a braking force. The braking force may be determined by a clamping force F_Cmeaning a force of the brake pad 10 for clamping the brake disk 20, and vehicle deceleration a.

Here, the EPB dynamic braking is intended to decelerate the vehicle (vehicle deceleration a) by generating the clamping force F_Cin the running vehicle using the EPB system.

Thus, the present invention utilizes a relation between the clamping force F_Cand the vehicle deceleration a and assumes the following three items, for the purpose of deceleration control based on an EPB model.

1. no slip occurs between a tire and a road.

2. contact between the brake pad and the brake disk is maintained.

3. the vehicle is being run.

FIG. 2 is a view illustrating an electronic parking brake system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, an electronic parking brake system 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a controller 110, and an electronic parking brake 120.

The controller 110 gives a braking command to the electronic parking brake 120 for a preset period of time. The electronic parking brake 120 generates a clamping force F_Cbased on the braking command inputted from the controller 110 to decelerate a vehicle 130. Information about the deceleration of the vehicle 130 is fed back to the controller 110. The controller 110 maintains the clamping force F_Cuntil the vehicle is decelerated to target deceleration.

In this regard, the braking command generated in the controller 110 and the magnitude of the clamping force F_Care based on the following Equations 1 to 9.

Hereinafter, constants and variables described in Equations 1 to 9 are defined with reference to the following table 1.

	TABLE 1

	F_c	clamping force
	F_b	braking force
	F_p	friction force between pad and disk
	R_w	wheel radius
	R_d	effective radius
	μ_p	friction coefficient between pad and disk
	μ_b	friction coefficient between tire and road
	α	vehicle deceleration

First, a force generating the braking force, that is, a friction force F_Pbetween the brake pad and the brake disk will be represented by the following Equation 1.
F_p=μ_pF_c [Equation 1]

In Equation 1, μ_pdenotes the friction coefficient between the brake pad 10 and the brake disk 20, and F_Cmeans the clamping force.

The friction force between the tire and the road may be represented by the following Equation 2.
F_b=μ_bW [Equation 2]

In Equation 2, F_bdenotes a braking force, μ_bdenotes a friction coefficient between the tire and the road, and W denotes a force acting vertically on the brake disk 20. In this regard, assuming that there is no slip between the tire and the road, the vehicle deceleration a is equal to the friction coefficient μ_bbetween the tire and the road (a=μ_b), so that the braking force F_bmay be represented by the following Equation 3.
F_b=aW [Equation 3]

In Equation 3, a means the vehicle deceleration. Further, the formation of a moment M_oat the center of the tire may be represented by the following Equations 4 and 5.
ΣM _o =F _b R _w −F _p R _d [Equation 4]
F _b =F _p ×R _w /R _d [Equation 5]

In Equations 4 and 5, R_ddenotes the effective radius of the brake disk 20, R_wdenotes the wheel radius, F_bdenotes the braking force, and F_pdenotes the friction force between the brake pad 10 and the brake disk 20.

If Equation 5 is substituted for Equation 3, the clamping force F_Cmay be expressed as in the following Equation 6, namely, Equation for the deceleration.

\begin{matrix} F_{c} = \frac{{WR}_{d}}{μ_{p} R_{w}} a & [Equation 6] \end{matrix}

Since the vehicle 130 is decelerated by the clamping force F_C, input is the clamping force F_Cand output is deceleration in terms of the vehicle 130. Here, the braking command may include brake application, brake release, and brake stop, and the braking command is converted into the clamping force F_C. Since a variation of the clamping force F_Cis in proportion to the command transmission time t of the braking command, it may be represented by the following Equation 7.sks
ΔF_c=K_tt [Equation 7]

If the above-mentioned Equation 6 is converted into the following Equation 8 and Equation 8 is substituted for Equation 7, equations for the braking command and the deceleration may be obtained as in the following Equation 9.

\begin{matrix} Δ F_{c} = \frac{{WR}_{d}}{μ_{p} R_{w}} Δ a & [Equation 8] \\ t = \frac{1}{K_{t}} \frac{{WR}_{d}}{μ_{p} R_{w}} Δ a & [Equation 9] \end{matrix}

In Equations 8 and 9, R_ddenotes the effective radius of the brake disk 20, R_wdenotes the wheel radius, μ_pdenotes the friction coefficient between the brake pad 10 and the brake disk 20, and Kt means a proportional constant. In the present invention, the electronic parking brake (EPB) model for the dynamic braking is created using Equation 9 defining a relation between the braking command and the deceleration.

In order to calculate the command transmission time t when the braking command is transmitted in the electronic parking brake (EPB) model, a weight acting on the wheel of the vehicle 130, the friction force F_pbetween the brake pad 10 and the brake disk 20, and factors (e.g. air resistance) that are not reflected in Equations 1 to 9 should be considered. However, since there is a limit to practically reflect all factors, according to the present invention, constants applied to the electronic parking brake (EPB) model are calculated based on Equations.

In the above-mentioned Equation 9,

\frac{1}{K_{t}} \frac{{WR}_{d}}{μ_{p} R_{w}}

is consequently the constant. This is substituted by constant K_e, and then the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake may be represented by Equation 10.
t=K_eΔa [Equation 10]

In the above-mentioned Equation 10, the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake is a value that is converted into the constant considering the effective radius Rd of the brake disk 20, the wheel radius Rw, the friction coefficient μp between the brake pad 10 and the brake disk 20, the friction coefficient μb between the tire and the road, and the proportional constant Kt. That is, the control value K_emay be a constant value representing the characteristics of the vehicle. However, the control value K_emay be obtained by experiments without information about the vehicle. Further, Δa is a value obtained by subtracting the vehicle deceleration from the target deceleration, and the target deceleration means the deceleration that should be reached so as to brake the vehicle. The command transmission time t may mean the duration of the braking command, which is required until the vehicle deceleration is identical to the target deceleration. The command transmission time t may be determined by multiplying the difference value Δa between the target deceleration and the vehicle deceleration and the control value K_e.

FIG. 3 is a view illustrating experimental data on a real vehicle for determining time that is required to achieve target deceleration by creating friction between the brake pad and the brake disk.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, in the braking command of the electronic parking brake EPB, the following equations are satisfied: Apply(t)=+K_eΔa, and Release(t)=−K_eΔa. Thus, it can be seen that the transmission time of the braking command including the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake is in proportion to the deceleration of the vehicle 130.
Apply(t)=+K _e Δa
Release(t)=−K _e Δa [Equation 11]

Therefore, as in the following Equation 12, the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake may be represented by the transmission time of the braking command for an increase or reduction in deceleration. That is, in order to obtain the target deceleration, after the controller 110 generates the braking command, it may be determined how long the generated braking command is transmitted to the electronic parking brake 120. In this connection, the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake is generated according to each of vehicles that are mass-produced and then is stored in the controller 110.

\begin{matrix} K_{e} = \frac{Apply (t)}{Δ a} or K_{e} = - \frac{release (t)}{Δ a} & [Equation 12] \end{matrix}

Referring to FIG. 3, the braking command may include one of the brake application, the brake release, and the brake stop. In order to reduce the running speed of the vehicle 130, the brake application of the EPB is applied. In contrast, it can be seen that the running speed increases, if the brake release of the EPB is applied. Further, if a difference Δa between the deceleration of the vehicle 130 and the target deceleration is equal to “0”, the braking of the EPB may stop. This will be represented by Equation 13.
if (a _d >a)then [Apply(t)=K _e(a _d −a)]
if (a _d <a)then [Release(t)=−K _e(a _d −a)]
if (a _d =a)then [stop] [Equation 13]

In the above-mentioned Equation 13, a_ddenotes the target deceleration, a denotes the current deceleration of the vehicle 130. That is, in the case of applying the target deceleration, the controller 110 transmits the braking command including the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake to the electronic parking brake 120 until the current deceleration of the vehicle 130 becomes the target deceleration. Further, the electronic parking brake 120 causes the clamping force based on the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake to be generated for a time (command transmission time) when the braking command is inputted. That is, the electronic parking brake 120 creates friction between the brake pad 10 and the brake disk 20, and generates a clamping force so that the deceleration of the vehicle 130 reaches the target deceleration, thus resulting in decelerating the vehicle 130. Consequently, the controller 110 may control the clamping force by controlling the command transmission time, and the variation of the clamping force may be in proportion to the command transmission time.

In the case of the brake application, as the command transmission time t increases, the variation of the clamping force in the positive direction may increase. That is, in the case of the brake application, as the command transmission time t increases, the variation in increase of the clamping force may increase. In the case of the brake release, as the command transmission time t increases, the variation of the clamping force in the negative direction may increase. That is, in the case of the brake release, as the command transmission time t increases, the variation in reduction of the clamping force may increase.

FIG. 4 is a view illustrating results of dynamic braking experiments using the electronic parking brake system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4, the electronic parking brake 120 is controlled by the controller 110 that is operated based on Equations 12 and 13, and the results of dynamic braking experiments obtained by measuring the deceleration of the vehicle 130 are shown by the graph.

Under the conditions of the dynamic braking experiments, the target deceleration is set to 0.2 g. In this regard, at a time when the dynamic braking starts, the brake pad 10 is spaced apart from the brake disk 20 by a predetermined distance, thus causing a difference of 0.02 g between target deceleration (0.2 g) and average deceleration (0.18 g).

The difference of 0.02 g between target deceleration (0.2 g) and average deceleration (0.18 g) is irrelevant to the performance of the controller 110 and the electronic parking brake 120. As illustrated in FIG. 4, at the time of about 29.6 seconds, the brake pad 10 starts to come into contact with the brake disk 20, and then the deceleration of 0.2 g is maintained.

The command transmission time and the deceleration difference value Δa may be measured by the experiments, and the control value K_emay be calculated by Equation 12. That is, it is possible to calculate the control value K_ewithout the necessity of previously recognizing the information about the vehicle or acquiring all information through measurement. Thereby, it is possible to reduce time and cost required to tune the control value of the electronic parking brake 120.

The electronic parking brake system for the vehicle and the driving method thereof according to the embodiment of the present invention may set the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake of each vehicle using Equation 12. As such, the control value K_eof the electronic parking brake generated depending on the characteristics of each vehicle is stored in the controller 110, so that it is possible to reduce time and cost required to tune the control value of the electronic parking brake 120 of each vehicle.

Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the command transmission time by the control value representing the characteristics of the vehicle and the difference value between the target deceleration and the vehicle deceleration. The vehicle deceleration and the target deceleration are continuously checked through the command transmission time. Thus, the vehicle deceleration and the target deceleration are measured at the time when the control starts without the necessity of adjusting the clamping force, so that it is possible to control the electronic parking brake such that the target deceleration is identical to the vehicle deceleration.

Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, it is determined whether the target deceleration a_dis more than the vehicle deceleration a (a_d>a) at step S10. That is, the controller 110 may determine the type of the braking command by comparing the target deceleration a_dwith the vehicle deceleration a. Here, the control value K_emay be stored in the controller 110. Further, the controller 110 may determine the command transmission time t through the difference value Δa between the target deceleration a_dand the vehicle deceleration a and the control value K_e. If it is determined at step S10 that the target deceleration a_dis more than the vehicle deceleration a, the controller 110 transmits the command of the brake application to the electronic parking brake 120 at step S20. The controller 110 may transmit the braking command to the parking brake 120 according to the type of the braking command and the command transmission time of the braking command that have been determined.

The vehicle is braked in the electronic parking brake 120 by the command of the brake application at step S30. At this time, the braking force may be generated for 100 ms.

On the other hand, if it is determined at step S10 that the target deceleration a_dis not more than the vehicle deceleration a, it is determined that the target deceleration a_dis less than the vehicle deceleration a (a_d<a) at step S40.

If it is determined at step S40 that the target deceleration a_dis less than the vehicle deceleration a, the controller 110 transmits the command of the brake release to the electronic parking brake 120 at step S50.

On the other hand, if the target deceleration a_dis not less than the vehicle deceleration a, the vehicle is braked in the electronic parking brake 120 by the command of the brake application at step S30.

After the command of the brake application or the command of the brake release is transmitted, it is determined whether the vehicle stops, at step S60. If the vehicle stops by the target deceleration, the driving of the electronic parking brake system is completed. Meanwhile, if the vehicle is not stopped, steps subsequent to step S10 are repetitively performed until the vehicle is stopped.

The electronic parking brake system for the vehicle and the method of driving the system according to the embodiment of the present invention allow the control value of the electronic parking brake to be set depending on the characteristics of the vehicle. Further, it is possible to reduce time and cost required to tune the control value of the electronic parking brake.

While the present invention has been described with respect to the specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
